"Liberal Cock Sucker", "Right Wing Extremist", you guys are flipping coins.
As usual Scott I agree, and disagree with you. On one hand I agree the constitution should be upheld. However its not that most people don't believe that, its that there are differing opinions pertaining to the interpretation of said materials, and whether or not something written so long ago can be relative to modern society, and that is a question worth asking.
Questions do need to be asked, and the asking of said questions doesn't necessarily make someone a "Liberal Cocksucker", no more than liking guns makes someone a right-wing extremist. As far as the owning of firearms (which seems to be the constant epicenter of discussion) it is such a complex web of shit, its difficult to gauge whether or not the owning of firearms by private citizens that have such a healthy pension for violence, as we do, is a good idea. Of course you know where I stand, I want to own guns to protect myself from criminals, and from a tyrannical government, I think we agree there. However there is no argument that we are far and away the most violent, modernized (dare I say civil), society when compared to similar countries with a similar set of ethics, and base moral standards (term used loosely of course).
Now of course I'm always up for a little political upheaval, but I would question whether or not the comfort level of most living in the United States is high enough, that a REVOLUTION would be unlikely to garner any real numbers outside of a militant minority. I'd like to be part of your Tea-Parties but there are too many of you right-wing whackos waltzing around for me to be interested. I'm kidding of course.
Lets be serious here, we never were "United" per se, opposing political parties and ideologies have existed since the forming of the first colony, and will continue to exist amongst our most important right, that to be free.
My only issue with this is the adding of the words "Under God", which was not originally in the Pledge, but added in 1954. Ironically followed by the original word "indivisible".
